Why doesn’t the NBA disavow Amazon and their Jewish CEO for promoting and making the video available online?

Why does Kyrie not get to have an opinion that he shares while not at work? -the nba promoted and loved it when other players kneeled and wore discriminatory t-shirts at work.

**** you woke fux get off Kyries dick

I hope the Nets release him immediately.

He would be signed to another team by Christmas.

Not with this particular issue hanging over his head IMO.

Obviously Brooklyn is the worst possible market to have an antisemitism controversy, but I still dont see other owners wanting to bring that circus to town.

MAYBE Oklahoma City :lol

But even then, probably not.

You really think a team would be desperate enough to sign him based on the last 5 seasons? It's like a trainwreck that's just picking up more speed at this point.

Kyrie has spent good portions of the past 4 years injured, out for 'reasons', and now suspended. A team wanting to tank doesn't need to spend his pricetag to do that.

Well Jews were heavily involved in the slave trade because they were basically europe’s merchant class at that time. But obviously slavery wasnt novel and had existed for all of time, nor did anyone target africans as some kind of a hateful vendetta. Hell the european merchants bought slaves FROM Africans. You cant just wander into africa and catch people in a net lmao. And you cant shoot a person and think theyll make a good slave. They traded with African kingdoms who had already conquered and enslaved other Africans. Thats just the way the world was at that time. Has nothing to do with religion or ethnic distinction etc. It was just cold economics.

Why does Kyrie not get to have an opinion? Well, he does, but he should keep it private if it's hateful. A professional athlete is not some Tom, Dick or Harry off the street. His platform and outreach is much much bigger so he doesn't have to post it. Keep it to self or something.

The reasoning behind the kneeling and BLM wasn't with intention of hate. What Kyrie promoted was hatred & ignorance.

The thing that strikes me as nefarious about this suspension is the language the Nets organization uses to denounce kyrie “He is currently unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets”. This isn’t a political or even moral disagreement. They are literally saying Kyrie Irving is too insane to play basketball. This is part and parcel the modus operandi of American regime politics of the last half century: anyone who strays too far from the narrative (regardless of how dumb you think they are) is psychologically disturbed and must be medicated until all dissidence is quashed. If you haven’t noticed this is how HR departments talk to employees when they express a regime unfriendly political view even if it had nothing to do with their job. You must apologize, atone, and pray for absolution before your professional class managers.

It’s obvious the Nets didn’t want to suspend Kyrie. They threw him a lifeline, all he had to do was go into this press conference say I am not anti-Semitic and I don’t agree with the anti-Semitic parts of that movie and just move on. But he’s too proud/dumb to do that and so he gets this. All athletes have clauses in their contracts about avoiding conduct that is “detrimental to the team”, the Nets having to answer for Kyrie everyday (he’s also posted Alex Jones videos) is a headache that no team wants to deal with.

The funny/hypocritical thing is, I guarantee a lot of players privately agree or at least think he shouldn’t be punished. These are the same players that were yelling for Donald Sterling to be forced to sell his team because he was on tape saying he didn’t want to see that chick with black dudes. There is was OK to punish someone for their words.

I'm sure of that. Stephen Jackson was spouting that ignorant garbage couple years ago. It's out there. Jaylen Brown gotta be up there, and he reluctantly left Kanye West's agency (he later liked a twitter post saying he is being forced to leave Kanye's agency). Jaylen tends to keep things private though. Kyrie does not.

This is utterly ridiculous.
Kyrie is a free black man in America.
We have freedom of speech.
If the team wants to kick him off the team that their right to do so.

But somebody else is gonna snap him right up and be a better team because of it. Would love to see him join a team which isn’t gonna side with overly sensitive big money over a conscious player trying to educate his own people on historical relevance of sown African men and women in the past, of mizrahim Hebrew descent.

Wealthy American Jews have to realize, they’re subject to criticism JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Who in the world believes they should be able to sue or threaten anyone who dares post a video which describes the African roots of biblical Hebrews (which genetically aren’t the same people as modern ashkenazi Jewish men and women, who are genetically Eastern European and Russian jews and not Mizrahim jews from the Middle East) ? I

Jewish people really have to realize that all the money and power to try to destroy anyone who says anything they find offensive is going to backfire badly on them, and they’re goin go to alienate what few allies they have left in the world. This is such a dangerous level of legal hubris they’re taking with Kanye and Kyrie, and it’s counterproductive to maintaining alliances and survival in the world today.

I dont think this is about that, so much as that Brooklyn specifically has the largest concentration of everyday jews in the world. Theres literally more jews in brooklyn than in Jerusalem :oldlol: It’s a huge part of the team’s target fanbase and it affects the value of the Nets significantly I would imagine.

In any other city this would still probably be a minor bruhaha, but I dont think hed get suspended anywhere else. Itd be like a player saying something about Chinese people in San Fran versus in Orlando. The degree of response would be different because of who makes up the home fans.

Basically.

Jews would over time would adapt physionomy suited to a new environment just as any other peoples would. If a tribe relocated to ethiopia they would evolve ethiopian features. If another group moved to prussia they would evolve prussian features and so on. Environments shaped human features in the premodern world. Regardless of where they originated from.

For sure, Egyptians then and now would be predominantly a dark skinned mediterranean people with caucasian faces and kinky hair. But they would have likely had more inland Africa admixture than, say, the Greeks. So there is that.

You never see this insecurity out of Giannis, Ibaka, Luol Deng, Embiid, etc because they know their roots, are proud of who they are, want to build a positive legacy and realise that Africa's a ****huge continent and them claiming Egypt or Ethiopia is laughable as the Gasol Bros or Luka claiming to be Roman Emperors or Russian Tsars.

I'm guessing had he scored 34 against the Bulls instead of 4 and the Nets win that game, then Kyrie remains mysteriously unsuspended. He was ultimately suspended because of his on-court suckage so the Nets franchise can at least win in the publicity department since they can't win games. Looks like they've given up on the season already. :oldlol:

Yet another W for the legacy of LeBron's beyond human accomplishment of beating a 73-9 team with this nutjob (who also has 4 point games) as his #2.

I wonder about the part of suspending him without pay. Typically a higher threshold needs to be met. Otherwise teams could use all kinds of frivolous reasons to get out of paying a contract. Unless there are greater forces at work, this gets challenged by the player's association or arbitration/courts.

There is plenty of reason to suspect The Black Hebrew Isrealite narrative could be accurate... but that is now a religion the NBA has decided to ban.

Biological factors too. West Africans overwhelmingly carry a gene that makes them immune to malaria, which was endemic south of the Mason-Dixon line. Basically there were a lot of places on the south (and places like Brazil) that had insanely high casualty rates from malaria (which was not a disease native to the new world).

White colonists arriving at Jamestown had almost a 100% rate of getting Malaria in their first year, which would make them weak for a year and killed like 30% of them early on. The institution of African slavery in the new world stems from the fact that any other type of labor died off too fast.

Chosen for sickle cell disease, maybe :oldlol:

https://sickle-cell.com/clinical/malaria

The gene that provides protection from Malaria causes Sickle Cell when the person has the mutation passed down from both sides. Malaria was a huge deal. It didn't exist in the new world until colonist brought it over, but it basically reduced the amount of people who could live in mosquito-infested places by a huge amount....because they would die. West Africans had a much much higher survival rate because of this genetic mutation.

Basically. And not to get political, but this is what the Right has been talking about for years now. While Kyrie didn't handle his explanation or apology that well because Kyrie has a checkered past with the media and with thinking he's the smartest guy in the room when he clearly is not, it's still silly how you can suspend him for sharing his thoughts much the same way they suspended Anthony Edwards.

Is it really that offensive to say God's Chosen people are Black?
It’s just every bit as racist as the Nazis believing Aryan Germans were “God’s chosen people”.

Has nothing to do with their black skin, it’s just extreme forms of superiority, delusion and narcissism.

Just as it was with the psychotic Nazi party. That’s how genocide ideas low key start.

It’s silly (and can definitely lead to genocide) for any group to believe they are gods chosen people but people from many different groups believe that, including groups that have been historically oppressed (perhaps a way of coping with generational trauma?). It’s not inherently genocidal though unless you think other groups of people should be killed. The issue here isn’t Kyrie believing black people are “God’s chosen people” or whatever it’s him believing in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. I do agree that any group believing they have some mystical advantage over other groups is certainly a recipe for disaster if said group has power.

So does the Jewish community believe they are God's chosen people?
Many do yes. I don’t because I don’t believe in god and the idea of any group of people being superior strongly clashes with my beliefs (and reality). I think there’s certainly a big difference between groups thinking god has chosen them to bear the burden of suffering in existence rather than groups thinking they have the right to genocide others though. Although obviously such ethnocentric beliefs can easily lead to genocide with the wrong people in charge. See for example the state of Israel genociding Palestinians in the name of religion. Religious beliefs should be respected and tolerated, but religion does not give anyone the right to oppress others.

But the media has been antagonizing him ever since his days of being on the flat earth theory stuff, which he never out right admitted he was wrong on, and then it was the vaccination stuff, and the media and the liberal agenda clowning him for that.

People criticize the Holocaust because of it's narrative, not because of 'anti-semitism'. The Holocaust narrative is the origin myth of western neoliberalism. If you want to demonize any demographic for political purposes, use the holocaust. This is why trannies insist they were holocaust victims even though the modern tranny has only been around since 2010. It makes their opponents look like Hitler. It also advances imperialist ambitions. Have a foreign leader Americans want to dispose? Make them the next Hitler. Say Putin is committing genocide against Ukranians or that China is putting Uyghurs in concentration camps. There you go, now you have manufactured consent to go to war because we can never have another Holocaust again! This is why the regime is so sensitive to Holocaust criticism. Not because of Jews but because of dissidence.

Kyrie Irving, who is nothing more than a contrarian with a crossover, cannot be trusted to lead a pedestrian across the street, much less an NBA franchise in a borough of the nation’s largest city. Yet there he stood — noted anti-vaxxer, suspected antisemite, overexposed anti-logic windbag — in a position to hijack attention and humiliate a league that has gone to great lengths to promote social equality.

For nearly a week, he failed to muster the humility to quell his latest controversy, and this time he stirred something far more dangerous than the usual Kyrie nonsense. Given ample time, Irving wouldn’t apologize for posting a link on Twitter to a movie and book that contains atrocious misinformation about Jewish people. He dared his employer, the Brooklyn Nets, to show him that he’s not his own boss. On Thursday night, the Nets finally ended the ludicrous standoff and suspended Irving.

All I know is the Holocaust was one of those times where you look at it and say… ”why is life so horrible sometimes?”

I mean Hitler fancied himself a science minded guy, maybe he thought eradicating the jewish demographic would be a boon to his aims for democracy. The jews of Europe at that time largely werent the secular jews you picture today working as businessmen. They were very religious, insular, idiosyncratic communities. They didnt vote in ways that would have agreed with how the decades eventually unfolded in the developed world. Scientific funding and such. Nor modern cultural norms. In fact they would have been at tremendous odds with the kind of liberal world Europe eventually became.

This isn’t true though. I’ve never praised Stalin, he was an obvious fascist cynically using Marxist slogans to fool idiots into supporting him. As for Mao he was a leftist at one point but power quickly corrupted him into a similar figure to Stalin. When I praised him (and others like Che) it was obvious bait to make people like you mad, shame you fell for it.

Extremely weird to place Che alongside those two, as he was not the leader of Cuba. And furthermore you honestly think Castro can compete with Stalin and Mao in terms of brutality? That’s ahistorical nonsense. I absolutely strongly dislike Castro as a politician, but he wasn’t on that level. Marixsm-Leninism the ideology of the guys you mentioned is a huge revionism of Marx’s ideas. I am very opposed to it. As for Marx while I like some of his ideas I’m not a Marxist as I disagree with him on him on the need for a transitionary state before anarchism/communism.

Also comparing almost anyone to Hitler is just ignoring what a unique evil he was. There aren’t really comparable figures. This is not saying Stalin and others weren’t monsters cuz they were. Just Hitler is…Hitler.

I agree with this. It's entertaining to watch from afar but it's going to have a negative impact on his job and those around him. You play by a different set of rules as a celebrity whether you like it or not. His public image directly impacts his employer. With social media anyone can temporarily be a celebrity by going viral, impacting their employer and then getting reprimanded. It's not a lack of freedom thing. It's just public image and the reality of a highly connected world. There's no easy solution to it imo.

People criticize the Holocaust because of it's narrative, not because of 'anti-semitism'. The Holocaust narrative is the origin myth of western neoliberalism. If you want to demonize any demographic for political purposes, use the holocaust. This is why trannies insist they were holocaust victims even though the modern tranny has only been around since 2010. It makes their opponents look like Hitler. It also advances imperialist ambitions. Have a foreign leader Americans want to dispose? Make them the next Hitler.

Aside from the rest. The holocaust was the worst genocide. Not in numbers, but what puts if above any other genocide is that it was industrialized. It was a killing industry. People were killed like kettle. It's something we've never seen before or ever since.

The Nazi basically had plants to kill people. They had conecentration camps where people were worked to death like in Gulags but the killing plants were called "Vernichtungslager" - extermination camps.

We agree transatlantic slaves were already enslaved in Africa, yes?

Which is the lesser evil, working as a slave in North Carolina or in the Sahara desert?

Would you rather be a slave under a Christian culture wherein torture, mutilation, and so on would have at least publicly been frowned on (even if many individual slavers were privately abusive) or where the indigenous tribal culture was to sacrifice random slaves, or have them tortured for public spectacle when they could no longer work etc.? Do you think the savagery of each environment was apples to apples?

Would you rather be a descendant of a slave in say the 1890s America, or a descendant of a slave in 1890s tribal Mauritania? What about a 1940s descendant of a slave? Better off in America or Africa?

Compensation? Bruh ask one of the millions of people starving to DEATH in Africa right now today what they think of your compensation. Id wager many would tell you American slavery was the biggest blessing your ancestors ever could have asked for.

There is zero doubt that the ancient Jews were not white, but that doesn't mean the Jews of today aren't their descendants. Barberschool failed basic biology.

I did not.

My sister’s husband is part Sephardi.
My family is part Mizrahim.

Mizrahim are the only Jews among today’s living Jewish people, who have real genetic ancestry traced to the biblical children of Israel.

Sephardi possibly do, but it’s so small if it’s there as to be practically insignificant.
Ashkenazi (almost 90% of all earth’s Jewish population are ashkenazi Jews) is even lower likelihood of finding even a trace of real traceable genetic lineage to the biblical children of Israel.

The biblical children of Israel were largely absorbed into the mohammadian conversions via 6th and 7th century Islamic conquests of the Levantine area, some fled north and east to Iraq, and their descendants include mizrahim Jews like PAULA ABDUL.

I know vastly more about this topic from my own immediate family than 99% of their board. Ask questions to me, and I will answer them, but do but attempt to take the superlative position, which you don’t hold.

So the greatest irony in all of this, is that, for the most part, both sides claims to being descendants of the biblical children of Israel / Hebrews, are misleading at best and completely dishonest at worst.

Greenblatt, Foxman, etc all the top staff at the ADL are ashkenazi, and their relatives never even knew what Judaism was until the mass 9th and 10th century conversions in the region that today is southern Russian/Kazakhstan/Ukraine.

Similarly, Kyrie, Kendrick, Kanye and Farrakhan and others who like to imagine black Americans are the true descendants have no more solid case than do the white pagan Russian ashkenazi converts do. The vast majority of African Americans come from Bantu tribal ancestors in WEST africa. Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa mainly. Those groups had almost zero contact or trade, in all of recorded history, even in the times of the great mansa musa, with northeastern Africans in Egypt.

Neither side are the descendants of the biblical Hebrews. Most of those bloodlines are living today amongst The Levantine Arabs and Turks, as primarily Sunni Muslims and Maronite Catholics or Orthodox Christians.

Basic 20th century history.
Communist revolutions and subsequent draconian enforcements of their horrific policies, killed vastly more native Russian and native Chinese people than the Holocaust ever could have, even if it fully succeeded in a true Shoah (which it did not)

The Bolshevik Revolution and decades of atheist Soviet Jewish rule that followed killed/starved/multilated vastly more Russian Christians than the Holocaust killed European ashkenazi Jewish men and women.

Genrikh Yagoda was the Russian Jewish boss of ALL the soviet communist gulags, and he acted like Shitler, and killed like shitler, decades before Shitler ever did it. He even had the same moustache when hitler was just a young boy. Did Shitler look up to Genrikh Yagoda, and emulate his look/moustache Decades later ? Highly doubtful, as Shitler feared guys like Genrikh Yagoda taking over the rest of europe, and do the same things that they did in early Soviet Union, when they had control.

Lynching long pre-dates America itself and was not unique to blacks nor slaves. And of course, we agree that being a slave anywhere was a horrific experience. But there is no point in history where being a slave or descended of slaves was a worse experience in America than it would have been in Africa. In fact, it's basically the opposite. Slaves brought to America, and their descendants, were actually the lucky ones.



But think about the question I was answering. The question was should the Africans that sold slaves to the Europeans be expected to pay like the American-Europeans. Yes they should, and they are offering reparations.

Well, I dunno, maybe it's easier to determine in Africa who owes whom. I'm white and I don't have a single ancestor who lived in the US at the time of slavery. So do I owe you money? If not, who does? We're gonna find out who here descends from a 17th century Virginia hillbilly and give them an invoice?

As you pointed out, Africa has a problem with governmental corruption. If they're doing "reparations" it is probably a political ploy/charade of some kind. It is almost guaranteed not to be some altruistic gesture. If you really believe otherwise, youre more than a little naive.

Being the NBA's antivaxx poster boy I feel like they were waiting for him to do something controversial enough to make an example out of him.Wouldn't surprise me if he just retired because I honestly don't see a team taking him on next year in free agency.

He should play for a foreign league someday. Maybe the cba will do.

Jaylen Brown on Kyrie’s suspension:

"I'm expecting the NBAPA to appeal the suspension from Brooklyn.”

Jaylen Brown: “I don't believe Kyrie Irving is antisemitic,”

“The terms for his return, they seem like a lot, and a lot of the players expressed discomfort with the terms. He made a mistake. He posted something. There was no distinction.”

Brown is part of union leadership. They don't want to immediately step up and look like they support the video but the NBPA is to be expected to oppose this punishment. But in the end I doubt it matters. The union will file a grievance or whatever but wouldn't do something severe like a strike which is what it might take to save Irving if he refuses to buckle.

What is Affirmative Action? Who does that help the most? What are HBCU's? Who does that help the most?It always seems wild to me that universities are forced to meet some diversity quota, but then you have, for ex, Howard University that is 72% black and no one bats an eye or Spell that is 99%+ black.

Mavericks are the best fit for Kyrie. Luka is arguably the best player in the league and he would be a replacement and massive upgrade on the loss of Brunson.

As it was my forefathers, whites above the Mason Dixon line, that freed the slaves, I assume I too will be getting reperations ? I sure as hell should.

The Civil War was not fought to free the slaves. The Civil War was fought to keep the South from succeeding from the Union. Not to mention my ancestors fought in thar war too.

Affirmative Action helps ALL minorities and women. Stats show the biggest beneficiary is white women. The only reason HBCUs are around is because Black's weren't allowed to attend the other Colleges.

The Bolshevik Revolution genocide killed easily 5x -10x as many victims as the Holocaust did, only the group being killed was orthodox Christian Russian middle and upper classes. And it occurred over 20 years BEFORE the Holocaust, and was the largest factor in Adolf Shitler’s justification for the Holocaust, because the group who killed all those Russian Christians (bolsheviks) we’re 85% ashkenazi Jewish.

Part of why I would defend Kyrie is that the media and schools don't really teach history. We treat Hitler like he was the singular force behind the Holocaust and that the German's were the only country with interment camps. Hitler was more in charge of the war, The Nazi's went in first and the SS followed. The SS was led by a man named Heinrich Himmler who had a million troops at his disposal. Even Himmler wasn't the main architect of the Holocaust that was done by two of his underlings...Reinhard Heydrich and Martin Bormann. The US also played a large part in the Holocaust as our Secretary of State at the time Cordell Hull spent much of the war stopping Jewish refugees from coming to the US. Many of the victims of the Holocaust were from countries in Poland and Europe waiting for US Visa's that the US had no intention of honoring. German jews were given enough time to get out which is why far less German jews died during the Holocaust compared to Poland, Russia, Hungary, Romania, and Czechoslovakia. This is important because by claiming Hitler did the Holocaust you create this singular monster a symbol if you will. It was a chain of individuals which caused all those people to die...a chain that included the US.

Germany was not alone in having concentration camps, 40 years earlier the US in effort to open trade relations with China slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Filipinos which was orchestrated by President William McKinley. We'll teach american racism and the holocaust in our schools that doesn't reflect on todays society. The US murdered hundreds of thousands perhaps millions to serve capitalist desires in China.

If you have an honest media and education system in the US you don't have the Kyrie Irving's of the world who believe that the world is flat. But ofcourse if we told the truth to people that might hurt our economic system.
